It really is taboo (I believe.) Especially if you are talking (even objectively) about your own intelligence.

I will ask WHY is it taboo? My own theory is that for the same reason that it is taboo to discuss wealth or penis size, in that it may stir up insecurities (unwarranted or otherwise) in someone involved in the discussion. It could easily be offensive. What do you think?

If you don’t feel that it is taboo, I’d like to hear that side, as well.

But my real question is this : do you think it SHOULD be taboo?
